42 Chapter 2 System OverviewNN40020-200Management Information Bases (MIB) provide access to the managed objects of a system andspecify the format of traps. BCM50 supports these standard MIBs for remote management:• MIBII RFC 1213—second version of the MIB for use with network managementprotocols in a TCP/IP-based internet. This MIB includes System Group and InterfacesGroup and is a baseline RFC implemented by data-networking systems.• Entity MIB RFC 2737—describes managed objects used to manage multiple logical andphysical entities to manage by a single SNMP agent.• System Host MIB RFC 2790 MIB for to manage host systems — defines a set of objectscommon across many computer system architectures that are useful to manage hostcomputers, such as memory and CPU.• SmallSiteEvent MIB for traps.• RFC 2261—SNMP Framework MIB.BCM50 adopts the Common Information Model (CIM) standard according to the industrystandards organization Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF), which provides a modeledmethod to manage system-programming parameters. BCM50 uses the transport mechanism CIMoperations over HTTP using XML, also referred to as CIM-XML. The BCM50 CIM-XMLinterface provides a consistent way to manage data on the device, whether by the BCM50 ElementManager, NCM, or third-party network or service-management applications.Log managementBCM50 log management includes, in addition to the component logs that BCM200 and BCM400systems provide, security logs, configuration change logs, alarm logs, and system logs.Set-based administrationBCM50 gives you the ability to use a telephone interface to program much of the BCM50 system.Set-based administration benefits include:• BCM50 installations that have no TCP/IP connectivity• BCM50 installations where the installer has no on-site access to a computer• installers who prefer the speed of programming using set-based administration• installers who are familiar with the Norstar interfaceWith set-based administration, you can manage• core telephony• voice mail services• IP network settings• keycode entry• admin password change• modem on or offSupport is available for multiple languages, consistent with Norstar set-based administration.
